Raptors' Ujiri: Trump's win made Toronto an unbelievable destination
Masai Ujiri thinks the results of the U.S. presidential election may have made his job a whole lot easier.
The Toronto Raptors president joked that he may spend less effort landing free agents in the coming years, given how many NBA players were unimpressed with Donald Trump's victory on Tuesday evening.
"I want to thank Donald Trump for making Toronto an unbelievable sports destination," Ujiri said, according to Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press at the Sports Media Canada Achievement Awards.

The Raptors have struggled to attract big-name free agents since the team's inauguration in 1995, but have retained All-Stars Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan in recent years because of the team's success.
